De barmhartige Samaritaan 1703 - 1775

"De Barmhartige Samaritaan" (The Good Samaritan) is a pen and wash drawing by Louis Fabritius Dubourg, dating from 1703–1775. Depicting a scene from the biblical parable, the artwork illustrates the Samaritan's compassionate act of tending to a wounded man. Dubourg's skillful rendering captures the characters' expressions and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow. This intimate, small-scale drawing is a testament to Dubourg's talent for capturing the human condition and his ability to translate biblical narratives into visual form. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
